I want to buy some of that ceiling product that looks like the old pressed tin stuff and install it on Friday.
I hate crowds, though.

HD usually opens before DIY'ers get out of bed ... go early.
The operative word is "usually".
On "Black Friday", stores around here open at 5:00AM.

I think it was Tom Watson who stated:
Sounds like a good project!
Buy it tomorrow, then.
I'll be spending the day on Friday cleaning out and sorting stuff in my Man Garage where I wrench on motorcycles and make stuff from wood.
I dunno about Home Depot, but I do know about the Bluewater Bridge from my hometown to Port Huron MI...you just don't go near it on Black Friday. Bizzzeeeee. A trip that normally takes me 10 minutes max, can take 2 hours+ The bridge is here: Google earth:
42=B059'56.47"N 82=B025'24.86"WAt 25,000 ft alt, you can see my house in Sarnia, ON and Home Depot in Port Huron MI I'm not sure how high you have get to see Lee Valley..*smirk*
I have found that the best time to hit HD is at the dinner hour.
You obviously know the problem. You also know the possible solutions. Pick one and go with it. When spring comes, the grass will grow by itself. mahalo, jo4hn
Here's what Home Depot will have on sale Friday. Might give a clue how big the crowd will be.
Then don't leave the house to go anywhere until at least the middle of January.
Go EARLY, in the first hour.
When I really have to go there, it works for me.
Ugh! Grunt! Me build 'em fire! :)
Today is Wednesday. Pick it up after work.. Around 6 or 7 pm, it's not crowded at all.
Personally, I think you're insane for even considering buying a routine, non sale item on Friday.
I think it was George Max who stated:
George understand. GOOD George.

Just watch out for that tree.

I have gone to stores like Target in late afternoon or evening on Black Friday and crowds aren't a problem. I would go to Menards or Home Depot later in the day Friday without any concern about crowds.
My local Menards is sometimes so crowded on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon that I have to drive around and around just to find any parking spot, no matter how far from the entrance.

less crowded than a typical Saturday morning.

I did South Ft Myers Ace, HD, Lowes and Fergusons on Friday (looking for a brass fitting that was unobtanium).. All of them were a nightmare.
